It didn’t shock me when Ranger immediately called.
“The fuck?” he asked the instant I picked up.
“They’re in Wrecker’s ice cream shop now, Range.”
I heard furious keyboard typing. “On it.”
I went to hang up the phone, but heard Cap’s voice beforehand. “Brutus.”
My phone shot back to my ear. “Yep?”
“What are they doing?”
“Driving around town. For the last hour or so.”
“Shit,” Cap hissed. “They’re scouting.”
“Mhm.”
“Got them on camera in Wrecker’s joint,” Ranger said in the background.
“Send it all to our DOJ contact,” Cap said, giving the order. “Brutus.”
“Yeah, Boss?”
“I sent Ghost to replace you. Be on the lookout for him. You need to get back here.”
Thank fuck. “I’ll keep an eye out for him.”
That’s when I felt the tap on my shoulder.
It made me fucking jump.
“Jesus Christ, Gee,” I hissed as I whipped around.
The masked man chuckled. “Here to relieve you.”
Cap snickered. “Get back here, Brutus. That’s an order.”
“On it, Boss,” I said as I hung up the phone. I pointed at Ghost. “Don’t do that again.”
He held up his hands. “I make no promises. But uh, you should let me go. They’re coming out of the ice cream shop.”
I whipped around at his words and, sure enough, the two men climbed back into the vehicle, one behind the wheel, and one in the passenger’s seat.
“Good luck,” I said as I brushed by Ghost.
“Never needed luck before,” he said right back.
I didn’t stop for anything else until I swung my leg over my bike.
I was ready to get back to Anna.
I needed to know she was safe after whatever the fuck her brother dragged her into.
